If a team calls 60 - 70 offensive plays in a game and they are loking for balance between passing and running plays, the average would be 30 - 35. At 20, that would be more than half.

I'm not sure Wilson is "yet" the best back on the team. I think he may be the best runner on the team though.

I agree.....Andre Brown is a true every down back.....he's got speed, but also power, and is a solid blocker. It might turn out he gets alot of carries because of that versatility.

I could see both backs (Brown and Wilson) flirting with 1000 yard seasons.....if so, the running game would be rocking.

Wilson gets a bulk of the yardage with just over 1K and about 5 rush TDs. However he also becomes a dual threat out of the backfield and gets close to 500 yds and 3-4 TDs receiving. Brown gets about 750 yds but like 8-10 TDs as go-to goalline back.

I would guess right around 1000 yards rushing, maybe 200 receiving. I don't think it'll be the kind of things that he gets 80 yards every game. He may get 200 one game and then 40 another. TDs, I'd say around 10 for the year sounds about right. If he hits these numbers, I would expect that means the rest of the offense did it's job. Brown would also have some rushing TDs, and Eli could find one or two TDs per game in the air.

i don't see anything special in Bron besides short yards at best, remember last year the coaches said they were worried about his pass protection, and said he didn't see more time after the Eagles game because he was lacking at it,

i know opinions differ, I've never been a fan of a split backfield, the back needs to get in rhythms and the offensive line needs to get in rhythm with the back, obvious to give a guy rest when needed etc, but a true split backfield i find rubbish

Absolutely....loved the way he stayed with his blockers, and then jumped into an open lane and ran with a big forward lean. I think he really helped out his offensive line that way.
